The path now becomes steeper, narrower and rockier - but it's worth it.

A small restaurant with very friendly owners: the fish dishes are highly recommended. The owners have their own fish ponds from which they catch char and trout.

At the Teufelskanzel (Devil's Pulpit), you'll find a magnificent view of the Saale River Loop and the historic Conrod Power Station. There's also a bench for a rest. If you want to walk a few more meters, you'll reach a sealing platform. (Distant view)
